The medical aspects of obstetric care in the first and second line will be explained during Klabs.

During Slabs, students gain insight into the planning and implementation of obstetric care by means of case studies.

During simulation training the students develop skills on cognitive, technical, communicative and multidisciplinary level.  Continuous attention is paid to the development of a correct attitude.  During these training courses, role-plays with the birth robot are central.

Experience stories by experience experts, including diabetes patients, give the students insight into the experience of the pre-conceptional phase, pregnancy, childbirth and the maternity period.
